Countach to Temerario: Lamborghini Owns BaT Today

Countach to Temerario: Lamborghini Owns BaT Today

Wednesday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided the dreams of every kid who ever had a poster on their bedroom wall. We’ve got a 379-kilometer Countach Anniversary sitting next to a brand-new Temerario Alleggerita, a Ferrari 458 Italia thrown in for good measure, and somehow a 1983 Suzuki moped crashing the party. Whether you’re here for six-figure Italian theater or a $500 buzz bomb, today’s slate has something to get your blood moving.

379-Kilometer Euro 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary

Three hundred and seventy-nine kilometers. Let that sink in. This Euro-spec 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary is essentially a time capsule on wheels — the swan song of one of the most viscerally outrageous shapes ever to leave Sant’Agata. The 25th Anniversary edition was a Horacio Pagani-assisted refresh that cleaned up the design just enough to make it timeless, and a Euro-delivery example with this few kilometers is the kind of thing that appears once and then disappears into a climate-controlled vault forever. No bids yet, but the auction is young and the ceiling on this one is hard to guess.

2004 Volkswagen R32

The Mk4 R32 remains one of the most satisfying sleepers Volkswagen ever built — that narrow-angle VR6 burble is genuinely addictive, and the Haldex AWD system means it hooks up in ways a front-driver never could. Values on these have been climbing steadily as the generation of drivers who lusted after them in their twenties now has the disposable income to act on it. Check out the 2004 Volkswagen R32 on BaT before the crowd figures out it’s there.

37k-Mile 2013 Porsche Boxster S 6-Speed

The 981-generation Boxster S is one of those cars that enthusiast journalists ran out of superlatives describing, and a 37,000-mile 2013 Boxster S with a six-speed manual is exactly the spec you want. The 981 sharpened up everything the 987 did right and added a flat-six that sounds absolutely furious near redline. These are still relatively affordable on the used market, which makes them arguably the best sports car value you can find right now.

15k-Mile Brewster Green 2019 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS 7-Speed

Brewster Green on a 992-era Targa 4 GTS is the kind of spec decision that makes you want to shake the original buyer’s hand. Low miles, a proper seven-speed manual, GTS performance hardware, and that gorgeous retractable roof hoop — this Brewster Green 2019 911 Targa 4 GTS is a legitimately rare combination. Targa supply is always constrained, and the GTS trim adds enough of everything to justify a serious premium over a base car.

2010 Ferrari 458 Italia

The 458 Italia was the car that reminded the world Ferrari could still build something truly special, and the early production years like this 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia carry extra collector appeal as first of the line. The naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 and dual-clutch gearbox combo produced a driving experience so sharp that its replacement, the turbocharged 488, was widely considered a step sideways by purists. Market values have been trending up firmly as the no-turbo-tax crowd chases them.

2026 Lamborghini Temerario Alleggerita

The Temerario is Lamborghini’s brand-new Huracán successor, and the Alleggerita is the lightweight, track-focused variant — meaning this 2026 Lamborghini Temerario Alleggerita is about as fresh as it gets on BaT. Seeing a current-production Lambo on the auction block is unusual, and it raises the obvious question of whether this is an allocation flip or a genuine change of heart. Either way, if you missed the order books, this might be your shortest path to ownership.

41k-Mile 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet

The RS5 Cabriolet is the overlooked member of the B8 RS5 family — most enthusiasts went for the coupe, which means the convertible is quietly the rarer car today. This 41,000-mile 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet pairs the sonorous naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 with open-air motoring, and that engine note with the top down deserves its own moment of silence. B8 RS5 prices have been softening, making this a legitimate opportunity for anyone who wants a proper fast Audi without paying 2021 premiums.

1983 Suzuki FA50 at No Reserve

Every auction slate needs a wildcard, and today’s is the 1983 Suzuki FA50 listed at no reserve — a step-through moped that probably cost less new than a tank of gas for the Countach sitting two listings above it. The FA50 was the quintessential neighborhood runabout of its era, a 50cc two-stroke that asked almost nothing of its rider and gave back uncomplicated two-wheeled joy. No reserve means it sells, full stop, and there’s something charming about the fact that BaT treats it with the same reverence as a six-figure Lambo.

162-Mile 2016 Ariel Atom 3

Closing out the day with something truly unhinged: a 162-mile 2016 Ariel Atom 3 that is basically still in the wrapper. The Atom 3 is a car with no doors, no roof, no windshield, and absolutely zero interest in your comfort — it exists purely to transfer acceleration forces directly into your skeleton, and it does that better than almost anything with a license plate. At 162 miles, whoever bought this either got scared or got smart and immediately decided it needed to live in a collection.

That’s your Wednesday BaT board — a spread that runs from a barely-driven Countach to a moped that probably tops out at 30 mph. The Italian hardware is going to generate the headlines, but keep an eye on that R32 and the RS5 Cabriolet if you’re shopping for something you can actually use daily. Check back as bidding opens up and the numbers start moving.
